Cyanogen Mod 9.0.0 Beta 3 For Galaxy Mini/Pop GT-S5570 Smartphone

Yesterday, I posted about CM9 for Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 Smartphone and since then I have got many questions regarding a stable Cyanogen Mod 9 for Samsung Galaxy Mini as well. So, here I have today the Cyanogen Mod 9 rom based on Android 4.0.3 Operating System for Galaxy Mini/Pop GT-S5570 smart phones. So, if you have got galaxy mini then it's flashing time now. Thanks to the developer, squadzone for his quick act on releasing another beta update for his Ice Cream Sandwich based Cyanogen Mod 9 custom rom for galaxy pop/mini. This Beta 3 release seems to be quite better than the previous releases but, still it has many glitches that are yet to be fixed.

So, below is an overview of what's working and what's not in this rom.

So, now after this review I am sure you are anxious to give to Ice Cream Sandwich based CM9 a try. But, before you actually flash this rom on your galaxy pop/mini gt-s5570
handset, I recommend you view some of these screenshots of CM9 Beta3
rom here (I will upload soon). And once you are ready to give this rom a
try, follow the instructions from below carefully.

Disclaimer : Do It At Your Own Risk!

Note : Those who have Gingerbread OS and any Custom Recovery installed
on their device can skip Step 1 and Step 2. Also, you can skip these
steps if you have any custom roms installed on your device.

Note : If you are using RZ Recovery, choose Install Menu>>Select update-cm-9.0.0-BETA3-GT-S5570-GalaxyMini-KANG-signed.zip you downloaded>>Select Wipe Data and Wipe Cache>>Choose Install update-cm-9.0.0-BETA3-GT-S5570-GalaxyMini-KANG-signed.zip and wait till the rom is flashed.

8. Wait till the rom is flashed/installed on your device. Once done, Wipe Data and Wipe cache from recovery menu.

So, that's all. You have successfully installed latest Cyanogen Mod 9 Beta 3 rom on your Samsung Galaxy Pop/Mini GT-S5570
smartphone. The developer recommends that you set both Windows
Animations Scale and Transitions Animations Scale to the value 1.5x or
above in Settings-->Developer Options as well as set Max Frequency
around 710MHz in Settings-->Peformance-->Processor-->Max CPU
Frequency. Also, for Google Apps like Gmail, Youtube, etc, flash the Google Apps For ICS from this article. You can also use the gapps from the Updates section above.

So, once you have configured your galaxy mini/pop properly please take some time to explorer this latest CM9 rom throughly and get the real taste of Ice Cream Sandwich OS
and then let us know how you feel about this rom at the comments below.
Also, don't hesitate to ask for help if you have any doubts. P.S. Don't
forget to say thanks to the developer at this development thread on xda-forums if you like his work and want to encourage him.
